🌿We pause on Wednesday, Sept.30 in honour of National Truth and Reconciliation Day. This day is also commemorated as Orange Shirt Day, which was established in 2013 to honour the experiences of residential school survivors and their families, thereby promoting awareness about the harmful legacy of the residential school system in Canada.
🌱This day will ideally serve as a reminder that we are ALL treaty people. We are all called upon to understand the historical and contemporary impacts of the residential school system. It is also essential for us to hear the stories shared, to hear and respect the truths shared by survivors, their families, and communities. We are all called upon to take meaningful action toward reconciliation.
🌿At The Den, we acknowledge that the harmful impacts of Canada’s settler colonial systems are ongoing, and that we are individually and collectively called upon to take meaningful action to confront these systemic forms of discrimination and violence.
🌱As a business, we aim to operate in a way that provides equitable access to our services, to continually create opportunities to give back to our community, and to find opportunities to collaborate in support of local initiatives, especially those that are Indigenous-led.
